Gaffron, Asst, Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />November 4, 1992 <br />Subject: "Styrofoam" Ordinance - Revised Terminology <br />Attached is a brochure received from Glen Gakemeier who <br />represents Dow Chemical's "styrofoam" brand products in the midwest. <br />He is requesting that we revise our styrofoam ordinance to eliminate <br />the term "styrofoam" and replace it with a generic term such as <br />"molded polystyrene expanded-bead foam". Clearly, we are not the <br />first entity to use the proprietary name "styrofoam" as a generic <br />term, given the effort they put into the brochure. <br />Attached is a copy of the existing ordinance with the word <br />styrofoam highlighted, and a copy of an amended ordinance using the <br />terir "molded polystyrene expanded-bead foam". Since this is not an <br />amendmp t of the zoning code. Council may adopt this ordinance to <br />amend Ordinance #104, 2nd Series without the need for a public hearing <br />or Planning Commission review. <br />2nd Series, <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of Ordinance #_ _ _, <br />amending Ordinance #104, 2nd Series to replace the word *^styrofoam" <br />with the phrase "molded polystyrene expanded-bead foam". <br />Proposed motion: Moved by ___________, seconded by _____________t <br />to adopt Ordinance #_ _ _, 2nd Series, to amended Ordinance #104, 2nd <br />Series by replacing the term "styrofoam" wherever it appears, with the <br />phrase "molded polystyrene expanded-bead foam". _ _ _ _ ayes, _ _ _ _ <br />nayes.
